Blackbird

REBLOG (12-30-21)   There is the #Mi'kmaq #Blackbird   The International Year of Indigenous Languages is a United Nations observance in 2019 that aims to raise awareness of the consequences of the endangerment of Indigenous languages across the world, with an aim to establish a link between language, development, peace, and reconciliation. To bring awareness to this important cause students at Allison Bernard Memorial High School in Eskasoni, Cape Breton recorded Paul McCartney's Blackbird in their native Mi'kmaq language.

Puck's rules

 do not include these:

Officially, Mormons are supposed to be almost entirely vegetarian. (Puck is pro-meat.)

Missionaries Can Only Call Home Twice a Year? Historically, missionaries didn’t get to see their families, either. If they wanted to talk to them, they had to wait until Christmas because Mormon missionaries were only allowed to call home twice a year—on Christmas and Mother’s Day. (Puck advises you talk to your mom every day.)

According to the missionary handbook, they can “never go swimming.” Ever. (Puck can't swim but likes water. Bad rule.)

AND this one PUCK (and Otis) definitely do NOT agree with:

The church has a committee called “The Strengthening Church Members Committee,” which is sort of like a Mormon version of the NSA. They spend all their time reviewing and keeping files on every church member – especially about everything the members write (or blog).  Mormon church leaders do not tolerate any criticism by anyone at any time.

Thus, Puck insists rules are made to be broken.  Otis offers Puck as evidence:



OTIS recommends this rule:

The Mormon church instructs every member to keep an emergency shelter ready with a three-month supply of the food they eat daily. (Maybe a year's worth of birdseed, too, Puck said.)

quote of the day

Like the crooked man who lived in a crooked house, it was the characterful, not to say skew-whiff, nature of the house that first drew him there: ‘It works quite well with the higgledy-piggledy of my collecting.’
